Sex-same couples in the Golden State will have to wait until at least December 6, 2010, to even think about marrying. A federal appeals court put same-sex weddings in California on hold indefinitely while it considers the constitutionality of the state's gay-marriage ban. The decision was issued by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, undoing the earlier suspension that would have allowed gay marriages to start as early as Wednesday. While heterosexuals of any ilk, including batterers and philanderers, continue to marry, gays have to wait. OK.
